Thanksgiving brings families together

And while Black Friday means shop 'til you drop for some, for others it means taking advantage of family being in town for family portraits. Take the Retter family, for instance. Mrs Retter came into the studio one hot summer day looking to get some color copies made. While this is not exactly what we do, it's something we can do, and so I did at a really good price just to be nice. While she was in I suggested that she get a family portrait done, and suggested that Thanksgiving weekend might be good since her son is away at school. A few weeks ago she called, and scheduled an appointment for today. They came in this morning and we had a nice, easy session. Here are a few of the previews they will be viewing:

Oh, what fun!

Santa came to the studio today for the first of his appearances, and we have a couple of the images that we created today to share. First up is Brennan, who is modeling our traditional look. Brennan is a cute little guy, but not too fond of the jolly old elf quite yet. Still, we had our share of laughs at his expense. :)

Next is Nina, who is showing our Rockwell style portraits with Santa. Observant followers of the blog will notice it is Nina's second appearance. A lovely young lady, who wants some Wii games for Christmas. What kind of games? "The fun ones, of course!" LOL

Santa returns to the studio on Nov 29th, from 10-4, the day after the Winter Holiday Stroll. Call the studio now to reserve your session at 886-0957.

As Thanksgiving Approaches

Thanksgiving is barely a week away, and we at Studio Mark Emile would like to encourage those of you who are going to take advantage of your families being together by getting a family portrait on Thanksgiving weekend to secure your sessions ASAP. We hate to disappoint, but there are only so many slots left, and we have a very full schedule over the weekend. Saturday night is Nashua's Winter Holiday Stroll, and Sunday we have Santa coming from 10-4. All we have left is a small number of slots on Friday afternoon and Saturday, so don't delay! Call the studio at (603) 886-0957 and make sure that your family portrait session is secured before all available slots are filled.

Aside from the fact that family from far flung places may be back for the Thanksgiving holiday, there is one other very good reason to get your sessions scheduled pronto. Time is running out on our promotion of 25 custom designed holiday or Christmas cards FREE with a family portrait. Thanksgiving weekend is the last weekend before that offer expires, furthermore we are rapidly approaching the holiday deadline after which we can no longer guarantee delivery in time for Christmas.

Here are a couple of the cover designs we have done so far this year to give you an idea of what we are doing for our custom cards. With a variety of finishes available, these cards are sure to impress and many people keep the cards from year to year, so well are they loved by the recipients. You don't want to miss this deal!

Guess Who's Coming to Studio Mark Emile!

That's right, that jolly old elf from the North Pole, Santa Claus!

Why hassle with long lines at the mall only to get terrible pictures? We have convenient parking, specially priced prints, and the big man himself! Bring your little ones, bring your dogs, bring your girlfriends. It's going to be so fun!

We have multiple days set aside for Santa photos.

Especially for Kids and Pets:
Saturday, November 21, from 10-2
Sunday, November 29, from 10-4
Saturday, December 5, from 10-4

And we are also having Girls Night Out with Santa
Thursday, December 3rd, from 6-9pm

Happy Halloween

We took a few shots of the grandkids when they arrived at our home for "trick or treat". One little ghost and little bo peep. :) Such cuties.
